After completing my whole30 experience in December, I found a great number of obvious benefits that spanned from better mood to more self-efficacy in the kitchen. These are referred to as non-scale victories, or NSVs!

If you’re considering taking on the whole 30, take the time to sit down and write/type what you hope to gain. Then come back to it at the end and see what happened.

Here’s a list of my #nsv. Let me know how yours went if you’ve done a whole 30, or what you might hope to gain from doing one. If you’re thinking about doing it, then plan plan plan, shop shop, cook, cook and then DO IT!

Planning my lunches, dinners, breakfasts and snacks- in other words being more mindful about planning this part of my life (Hello, food is kind of important!).
